MPAA Objects To Bill Allowing Edited Movie Versions

The Motion Picture Association of America is objecting to a proposed new law in the US Congress that would exempt from legal liability anyone using software to make “family friendly” versions of movies. “Our objection is simply to Congress providing legal cover to companies that want to make a profit by offering an edited, abridged version, without regard for the wishes of the director who created the movie or the studio that owns the copyright.”
